Question about Yodel

[Railfreak78]

I've been eye balling Yodel brand police cruisers on Ebay for a couple years now. I finally saw a NYPD Coronet/Fury (1976 ish) that was not sealed and the body and decals were already done ( In a sealed bag ). Are all Yodel kits pre-painted kits? If no are all the police ones pre painted? I have heard great feedback of these cars but they are not cheap. I personally do not want a pre- painted one. Any ideas are welcome and thank you.

Well, they are pre-painted, but exactly how much depends on the edition of the kit. See, there are two versions of these kits: One version has painted box art & one has a photo of the actual kit with some police props. The first version only has a body that's molded in one color, while the second version has a body that has certain parts of the car spray-painted depending on which car it is. For example, the NYPD kit has the roof & roof pillars spray-painted white for the second edition.

Another note: There are some parts differences between the two versions. The first version only has one grille, one type of lightbar and may or may not come with an electric motor, while the second version has two grilles, two types of lightbars & is guaranteed to come with an electric motor.
